The North West Highlands Geopark contains some amazing rocks! But have you ever wondered, what actually is a rock? Or perhaps you’re curious about fossils and ancient life – for example, did you know that the oldest evidence of life in Europe can be found right here in the Geopark?
Join our Education and Engagement Officer Dr Marie Marsden, geologist and palaeontologist, for one of our informal and interactive workshops at The Rock Stop this summer. Suitable for all curious minds and ages! No prior knowledge needed.
